The Regular Trader

  This simple trading strategy can be applied to any instrument on any time frame. This strategy using two ocillator, ADX with 16 period setting and MACD setting of 3, 9, 16. Some say that a trend indicator alongside an oscillator is the most efficient combo. Any of these three pair suits the strategy: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD. Experienced traders/investors stick to these ones because majors have more predictable behavior, and tech analysis works much better on them. Recommended time frame should be on shorter period. To open a position, start by analyzing the activity of ADX with period 16. Make sure you choose correct settings when adding the indicator to the trading terminal. Signals in the strategy do not differ from "classic" ADX signals. As you know, the author claims that a crossing of +Di and -Di as it is already gives a market entry signal.

  EUR/USD 1 Hr Chart The one-week implied volatility of the EUR/USD has reached its highest level since the middle of December, following reports last Friday that US intelligence suggested Russia could invade Ukraine this week.

Earlier this month, this resulted in a brief 2-day surge in the Euro. Even one of the more dovish central

What is Leverage   Leverage means the ratio between the money you own and that borrowed from the broker. Different brokers offer different leverage sizes, which also depend on the market you are trading. On Forex, you can easily find brokers offering up to 2000:1 leverage, and there's one that claims to offer unlimited leverage to its clients. In the stock market, meanwhile, you'd barely come across a broker that offers over 20:1 leverage.  Leverage in Forex   Leverage got especially popular in Forex, as it is less volatile, and one needs to have their funds leveraged in order to boost the performance, and, subsequently, the profits. The EUR/USD, for instance, moved just 1.10% in May, which would have returned you a 1.10% profit without leverage (1:1). Over the same period, Tesla yielded 14% profit to the shareholders. This way, once the Forex brokers stop offering leverage, the gains in the market will get ridiculously small for the retail traders, and those will have to mov
